Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement [PDF]
Introduction: We aimed to describe the distribution of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to examine whether metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) calcification and CC at other joints occurs in the absence of knee involvement.

Tendinosis develops from age- and oxygen tension-dependent modulation of Rac1 activity. [PDF]
Age-related tendon degeneration (tendinosis) is characterized by a phenotypic change in which tenocytes display characteristics of fibrochondrocytes and mineralized fibrochondrocytes.
